A safe haven
Compassion Ministries provides a safe haven for young mothers ages 11 to 21 who are pregnant or parenting. With two locations in Northwest Arkansas, we offer secure housing and tailored support to meet their unique needs.

Compassion House in Elm Springs serves teen mothers ages 11 to 17.

Renee's House in Springdale supports young women ages 18 to 21.

At both locations, we provide intensive case management, working closely with each resident to create individualized growth plans and set meaningful, achievable goals.
Empowering
Growth
At Compassion Ministries, we are committed to helping each young mother in our program thrive. Through intensive case management, we work side-by-side to develop personalized growth plans tailored to their unique needs. Each mother is also supported by a dedicated labor coach and caring mentors to guide her journey.
Upon entering the program, every young mother receives a comprehensive completion guide outlining the classes and resources available to her. These include life skills training in key areas such as financial literacy, workforce development, parenting and relationships, healthy living, and more. Our holistic approach ensures they are equipped with the tools and confidence to build a brighter future for themselves and their children.
Our primary goal is to empower pregnant and parenting young mothers in crisis by providing safe housing, comprehensive case management, education, and life skills training. We are dedicated to helping each resident overcome challenges, achieve personal success, and become a healthy, thriving contributor to their community.
